The world's tallest building the Burj Khalifa. TAKEN from a cockpit at speeds of up to 160 miles-per-hour while taking off and landing an aircraft these could be the most hair-raising cityscapes you’re likely to see. Looking like it has been lit-up for Christmas these extraordinary pictures were in fact taken from above Dubai. They show the incredible city from the eyes of the pilots who see this stunning sight as a normal part of their working day – yet are rarely seen by the average traveller. Other pictures from ground level show incredible reflections from across the city. Tunisian Air Arabia airline captain Karim Nafatni (34) took the shots during the course of over 10,000 hours of flying the Airbus A320.
